UJalkerHoioEll SIS MXT1 (APtTOl- rVOMt K73 Found Lower Decrease 6 Blillion . in 6 Years Over Oregon; 12 Counties up Total indebtedness of all school districts in Oregon on July 1, 1940, was $13,371,252, compared with $15,129,370 on July 1; 1938. and $19,945,871 on July 1.-1934, State Treasurer Walter , E. Pear son, reported here yesterday. . This was a reduction of $1,758,-118- daring the past two years and $8,574,619 during the past six years. Tha total net indebtedness of school districts as of July 1. 1930. was, $22,539,320, or $9, 168,088 more than at the present time, notwithstanding the Issu ance of a considerable amount of bonds to provide funds with which to build schools in conjunction with federal grants and loans.

Lincoln county did not have any school indebted ness in either year. Multnomah county, with an indebtedness of $4,844,820 on July 1, 1940, com pared with $6,244,353 on July 1, 1938, and $9,376,312 on July 1, 1934, made the best showing with a reduction of $1,399,533 during the past two years and a reduc tion of $4,531,492 daring the past six years. Most of the decline was due to liquidation of indebtedness by school district No. 1 in Portland, which slashed $1,504,895 from Its debt during the past biennium. Yamhill county, with a rise of $249,480 in Indebtedness during the past two years, showed the largest increase. The credit of the school dis tricts in Oregon is of the highest order, Pearson said. Notwith standing adversities of some of the districts due to fires, declines in assessed valuations and tax delinquencies, none of the dis tricts are In default in the pay ment of the principal and Interest of their outstanding bonds.
